Allison Soares, Attorney at Law

EDD Audit? Allison is THE BEST! I received a letter from EDD for an audit, my CPA advised me to hire an attorney instead of doing it in-house. I interview 3-4 attorneys and Allison stood out by a mile. When it comes to EDD audits she is competent, very clear in explaining the process and cares about you as a person, she knows it can be stressful. Side Note: Her billable hours are honest and reasonable for the service she gives. Great communicator answers her phone and texts right away. We had a positive outcome and it is all thanks to Allison.

I worked with Allison during a very stressful EDD audit, and she was absolutely outstanding. From the beginning, she was organized, proactive, and completely on top of every detail. Her communication was excellent—she answered my calls, responded quickly, and clearly explained every step so I always knew what was happening. Allison’s knowledge and confidence made a huge difference, and she resolved my case much faster than I expected. She truly cares about her clients and takes the pressure off your shoulders. If you’re dealing with an EDD audit and want the best representation, I highly recommend Allison. I would choose her again without hesitation.

If you’re dealing with an EDD audit, stop searching for an attorney and call Allison. She answered her phone on Christmas Eve when my stress level was at its absolute highest, and from the very first conversation I felt like I was finally talking to someone who actually understood what was going on. She didn’t just hear pieces of the story. She listened to the whole picture and understood it at a deep level. What made me trust her was how calm and confident she was the entire time. Even when I was stressed out, second guessing things, or pushing back, she kept telling me to trust her and trust the process. I’m glad I did because the outcome ended up being better than I realistically thought was possible. These audits are brutal mentally. You need somebody in your corner who knows how to navigate the system, contain the situation when things start expanding, and guide you through it strategically instead of emotionally. That’s exactly what she did for me. I genuinely felt like she was ten steps ahead the entire time. Could not recommend her more.

I had an excellent experience working with Ms. Allison on my EDD case. She helped me file a late appeal for a penalty I thought I had no chance of fighting—and thanks to her expertise and persistence, we were able to reach a favorable settlement. I’m truly grateful for her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. Highly recommend her to anyone dealing with EDD issues!

In October 2025, I encountered an issue with an EDD audit and urgently needed guidance. I was referred to Allison, and I am truly grateful that I was. She was an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services. While I certainly hope I won’t need to face a similar situation again, I would not hesitate for a moment to work with her again if the need ever arises.
